It appears the sculpture is made out of bronze and has been

    figure still greatly resembles. The arms were carved separately and then pegged on later. Ka-Aper was also at one time painted‚ however over the years it has worn away.

Lastly the two figures both exhibit bare feet. This may signify that they were being portrayed on sacred ground. In Ka-Aper case it was his mastaba‚ and in Kroisos’s his
